HEAR SAMPLE

"Published in 1918, Colum's stirring telling of the Greek epics is still unequaled as an
introduction to the classic myths for young readers."Publishers Weekly

Padraic Colum's classic retelling combines the immortal stories from Homer's Iliad and
Odyssey into one glorious saga of heroism and magical adventure. Come voyage to ancient
Greece with Achilles who, guided by the gods, seeks vengeance on the Trojans. And follow Odysseus
on his perilous journeythrough the land of the Cyclopes, past Circe the Enchantress, the terrible
Charybdis, and the six-headed serpent Scylla.

PADRIAC COLUM (1881-1972) was born in Longford, Ireland. He was a poet, playwright, and author who was a major leader of the Irish Renaissance and friend to both Joyce and Yeats. Well versed in the old Gaelic myths as well as those of other cultures, he wrote a number of books for children that retell these tales.

Earphones Awards recipient Robert Whitfield was born in England and worked for the BBC for ten years as a radio news announcer and also worked as a narrator for the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London. In addition to narrating for Blackstone Audiobooks, he involves himself in numerous stage-acting projects in the United States and Europe.
